This Zooper Widget is Hot: Plastix

A couple of weeks ago, Tim gave you a quick list of three apps you should probably own, one of which was Zooper Widget Pro. For those into custom clock and weather widgets, Zooper is easily the best available because of its openness that allows you to build your own clocks or quickly install those made by the pros. One of those “pro” made designs that we couldn’t help but feature, is Plastix. This, is by all means, one of the coolest Zooper skins I have seen in a while.

Plastix includes 40+ skins for you to load upon Zooper, skins that jump from clocks to weather-clock combos to just weather to Gmail lists to calendar items to battery status to CPU load to SMS icons. There are so many, that I haven’t even been able to check them all out. Oh, the developer also included 10+ customized wallpapers and a font that fit the overall Material Design theme.

Speaking of Material Design, I don’t think I mentioned the fact that this entire set was built to fit Google’s new design guidelines. It can also be used to take up entire home screen pages with a Material Design look, almost like a custom theme.

I should point out that on my Moto X, some of the skin choices through Zooper are showing as “corrupt,” but they still load just fine when chosen. Seems like a bug, though it isn’t breaking anything.

If you own Zooper Widget Pro, you should go buy Plastix. Yes, it costs just over $1.

Timely is just so simple and easy. That’s why I like it over the other alternatives.

I love timely. But I wish the widget had more options. Thats where zooper steps in, and you can still have it launch timely when you tap it. The problem with Zooper, though, is that it cannot show the timely next alarm. Hopefully it gets implemented in the future.

I so badly want a new awesome widget for my home screen but nothing has pulled me away yet from 1Weather’s widget… It’s just so beautiful and full of information!

Battery status was created in Zooper. I just opened the widget and added the battery status as a full 260 circle and placed in the the back on the one widget. On the other, I had to figure out the arch and everything (trial and error) until I found the right arch to match. Really easy.

Hey Kellex, is that a Upband I see your using? How do you like it? I was thinking of picking one up as the Moto 360 doesn’t last long enough to monitor my sleep (not that there’s apps for it right now anyway).

Been using it for a good 7 or 8 months I think and really like it. It doesn’t have a screen, but a single charge lasts a week, and it has been awesome for my sleep patterns and waking up feeling better. I actually have a post in the works on how much better I feel in the mornings, just after using this as my alarm.

Awesome, thanks for the reply man. I was considering waiting for the UP3 but I think the 24 will fit all my needs at the gym and for sleeping. Great post too btw!

I had such a terrible experience with mine. Like beyond awful even. I think it was because i had the older model. the newer ones i’ve heard good things about but i just am so gunshy about getting another

yea i had the older one that required you to plug into the 3.5mm jack. I had horrible batteyr issues and went through 4 warranty replacements before i got fed up. Always the same issue and they would never acknowledge an issue, meanwhile countless people reported the problem on the support forums……they ended up giving me a credit for the value and i picked up a custom jambox.
